§ VISCOUNT SWINTONMy Lords, the House is grateful to the Leader of the House for making that Statement to us, and I am sure we all share the hope expressed in the last sentence, that the work of the Good Offices Committee may bring about a cease-fire and a negotiated settlement. I am sure that I also express the view of the whole House when I say that we are profoundly thankful that His Majesty's Government and the United States Government are in accord. In that agreement and unity lies the one sure hope of peace.
